39 The First (& Only) Time

Posted by helenboyd – May 13, 2008

39. Shock & horror. It’s not possible I’m this old.

My mother was 39 when she gave birth to me, 39 years ago today. (Thanks mom.) I was her 6th child, and here I can barely manage three cats & a trans husband.

But at least Betty’s as old as me!

    Happy Birthday! I hope you aren’t looking for sympathy. Some of us are FAR older than you. :)

    A very, VERY hap-hap-HAPPY Birthday! Life just keeps getting better. My 40′s were the best decade so far (I’m only 51, so this decade may be better).

    Damn, late to the party.

    *looks at all the stuff on the floor*

    Hmm, looks like it was some party.

    39? Bloomin’ youngsters, the pair of you!
